The Shadows of Hope, by Courtney Shockey is part 2 in the Selene's Pass trilogy. In my opinion, it is so much better than the first book. The Cover of Love, book 1, lays the ground work for this book. It is the story of Kayla Night and Adam Sharp, as well as the other members of Selene Pass, the small town Kayla lives in. This book is great, so much suspense, mystery and romance wrapped in a little package.
Kayla's family have all passed away, and leaves her feeling alone. She moves town to town, hoping to find some place that feels like it could be "home." She finds this feeling in the small town of Selene's Pass. She settles down, and buys a house outside of town, along the woods. She cuts her own path along her property, which she runs daily, never seeing anyone. Until one day Adam runs into her, literally! He has traveled to Selene's Pass to hunt, and after injuring Kayla, walks her home.
The two are instantly attracted to each other, and quickly begin a relationship. Adam has been the talk of the town since he arrived, since he is gorgeous. Their relationship causes tension in town, leaving some girls jealous, and some men even more jealous. I cannot say much more without revealing secrets, but lets just say you MUST read this book to find out! I was hooked from page one. The ending was perfect, and I cant wait to read the final book and see what happens next!

4.5 stars out of 5
This is the second book in a trilogy based in a small town in Texas that most of us would just drive straight through. This story is a very different kind of story than the first, being more of a romance story instead of a story about family love. It is written a bit differently too, more descriptive so that you can actually smell the latte Kayla drinks. Sometimes with sequels or series they can be repetitive but this was a different story all together and although the characters from book one show up, they aren’t the main draw. I found it to be a nice change of pace.
Kayla has lost her whole family over the years so she takes off on her own to see where she fits in. She finds herself in Selene’s Pass to find herself loving the small town and the privacy it provides. She runs into Adam and she may just find the hope she thought she lost a long time ago. Their relationship blooms but as Kayla has known in the past where hope roots in the heart a shadow will always cross over and try to snuff it out. The question is will she allow the shadow to keep her from what may be the best thing in her life?
This was a beautifully written story that depended more on subtlety than hitting you over the head with suspense or sex. There was beauty in the details and this is an obvious talent that will not be going away anytime soon. I am really looking forward to the conclusion of this series and to see what happens with Kayla and Adam and that bomb of a shock that was dropped at the end of the book. What a way to end it keeping someone wanting more.
